Board Game Advent Calendar - Day 4

Board Game Advent Calendar - Day 4

Wingspan*

  • Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower
  • Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
  • Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them

Two Stonemeier games in a row? What can I say, their production quality is top-notch and their games are great! Wingspan itself is an incredibly accessible tableau-building, drafting game with a bunch of expansions for birds all over the globe. Its beautiful artwork exemplifies the "cosy-core" style of gameplay thats come into vogue recently. If scales are more your vibe, rather than feathers Finspan allows you to go diving into the sea for your collection, or if you'd prefer a bit more bite Wyrmspan (and its expansion) provide for a bit heavier gameplay.

Perfect for: snuggling up with a cup of tea in front of a roaring fireplace and seeing who can be the best bird/fish/dragon watcher! (look, we can pretend we have cold Christmases here... ok?)

Complexity: 2.5/5
